Hiking - The basic information that you should know! Born to be wild...

Let's get started by providing the basics of hiking.  What you need to know before striking out into the wild blue yonder - and the very basic rules of the woods include:

DON'T GO ALONE

Unless you're hiking a well used trail, never strike out alone and when you do go alone, always let someone know that you're hiking the wild. A Forest Ranger or Park Ranger are your best friends - outside of Smoky the Bear, of course.

If you're packing kids, keep them under control. Munchkins can find the darnest things - rattlesnake holes, rabid animals, giant spiders, even used sex objects along the way.

Study the Terrain Before Striking Out

Be aware of the terrain, when are out and about. Many people have died hiking - walking off into deep gullies, falling down cliffs, and into deep roaring streams.

And if you're hiking with a sexy blond in extra-tight, extra-short cutoffs, keep your eyes glued on the trail rather than those alluring buttocks and shapely legs.

If you're taking out a troop of kids, put the slowest one that's nicknamed Snail, in front of your herd. And of course, as mentioned above, be certain of the terrain before nominating Snail as your leader. It's a good way to 'pace' your troop without over tiring your slowest participant.
